Bio-Identical Natural Hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones that are made by the human body. Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy involves the use of bio-identical plant derived hormones.
These hormones that occur naturally in the body cannot be patented, and manufacturers lack the financial incentive to commercially market these substances.
Although U.S. physicians are now becoming aware of these Bio-Identical Natural Hormones, they have been prescribed by European doctors for several years.
As women age and enter menopause, Hormone related symptoms or problems that may occur include:
- Hot Flashes
- Low Libido/Vaginal Dryness/Thinning
- Weight Gain
- Sleep Disturbance
- Irritability
- Moodiness
- Poor Concentration/Memory Lapses
- Endometriosis
- Painful Intercourse
- Depression
- Osteoporosis
At PharmacyMax Labs we can compound BIO-IDENTICAL PLANT DERIVED HORMONES as an option for women who need Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Plant derived Bio Identical Hormones are biologically identical to the hormones produced in a younger woman's body so she can regain its natural balance.
Some examples of plant derived Bio Identical Hormones include:
- Progesterone
- Estriol
- Estradiol
- Estrone
- Testosterone
- Pregnenolone
The possible benefit of Hormone Replacement Therapy is that it can be adapted to supplement your already existing hormone levels.
As a unique individual, having your own individualized hormone replacement therapy customized to meet your individual needs is most beneficial to your well being.
Our Compounding Pharmacists work very closely with physicians so that a woman can start and maintain a Bio Identical Hormone regimen that closely mimics what her body has been doing naturally for years.
Because no two women are alike, Bio Identical Hormones can be made in a variety of strengths and combinations of hormones including:
Estriol, Estradiol, Bi-estrogens (estriol, estradiol), Tri-estrogens (estriol, estradiol, estrone), progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and combinations of pregnenolone.
Some common dosage forms include:
- Troche (Lozenge) that can be dissolved in the mouth for quick absorption
- Transdermal Creams in specially compounded bases that allow the hormones to be absorbed directly into the blood stream.
- Capsules
- Vaginal Suppositories and Vaginal Creams
- Sublingual Drops
All Compounded Bio Identical HRT is customized in the strengths and dosage forms that are unique to your INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy offers many significant advantages over conventional therapy. A woman should discuss these newly available alternatives with her physician, and ask important questions in order to decide which therapy might be most beneficial in meeting her unique needs.
Our trained, skilled, and compassionate compounding pharmacists can also help women with Libido issues. We can discuss the options available that can increase sexual desire, orgasmic climax, and naturally replenish vaginal moisture to make sexual activity truly enjoyable again.
PharmacyMax Labs specializes in meeting specific needs… the importance of individualized therapy and the Physician-Pharmacist-Patient Relationship in providing optimal hormone replacement therapy cannot be overemphasized.
Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy is only one component of a total wellness program, which should also include proper nutrition and exercise. We will work together with both the patient and physician in developing a customized therapy plan that is best for each woman. All patients are counseled regarding the appropriate use of each medication, potential side effects, and signs that a dosage modification may be necessary.
We will work with you and your physician to develop a customized hormone replacement plan that best suits you.

Many hands… light work…
The Parent Body in a Waldorf School
The Parent Body of a Waldorf School can be understood as the "Hands" or Willing element, while our dear teachers represent the "Heart"/Feeling aspect and the Board of Trustees the "Head"/Thinking. This is a simplified model, but it does help us understand whose work is what–and how each contribution is integral to the health and smooth functioning of the whole.
As the Hands–the Will–parents are the workers, the bodies, the lunch-makers, the carpool-drivers, the event organizers and volunteers, the tuition-payers, the treat-bakers, and in so many ways the action-makers and celebrants. Parent engagement and volunteerism is valued, encouraged and totally necessary to make our school work!
In the Classroom
Of course, all families have one or more classes in which they actively participate as parents of a student in the class. Parent involvement and support of the class teacher is of greatest priority. Additionally, parents in each class volunteer for these roles:
Class Parent
The Class Parent works closely with the class teacher, parent council reps, and the parents in that particular class. They may help coordinate volunteers for field trips and festivals, orchestrate teacher cards and gift-giving, help organize classroom activities and events, and in a general way cultivate positive classroom culture.
New Parent Liaison
One or two parents in each class serve as warm and welcoming resources for new families. The New Parent Liaisons may initiate parent-to-parent communication, organize play dates, and send along invites to teas and other opportunities in which new parents can connect with school community. Admissions and Parent Council help to hold this initiative. For a listing of 2017-18 New Parent Liaisons, click here.
Parent Council
The parents who serve on PWS Lower School and High School Parent Council work with the mission to:
–Enliven all aspects of community life
–Facilitate communication among faculty, administration, and the parent body
–Build a better understanding of the cultural mission of the school as set forth by the College of Teachers
PC is comprised of 2 parents from each class serving two-year terms as Parent Council Reps; 3 co-chairs serving overlapping three-year terms; and representatives from Faculty, Admin, and Board who facilitate communication among leadership bodies.
Meetings are always open to all parents. Check the Weekly Bulletin and Veracross calendar for upcoming meetings, or ask your class Parent Council rep. Please see the updated PC Mandate for specifics! Want to know who your class rep is? Check out the 2017-18 Parent Council Membership.
Lower School Co-Chairs
Angie Lawless, Jillian Nelson, Dave Renzema
High School Co-Chairs
Stephanie Baartz-Bowman, Rosalea Peters

The Early Development Puppy Play Gym was created to support early stimulation and cognitive development in young puppies. Studies regarding early neurological stimulation in puppies have confirmed that one of the critical periods for canines to be stimulated is between 4 and 16 weeks of age. Research has shown that non-stimulated pups may become fearful of unfamiliar objects and will withdraw rather than investigate. Even well bred puppies with superior pedigree could grow up preferring the safe environment of their kennels rather than the stimulating world outside, and may also be more difficult to train. We believe our Puppy Play Gym, coupled with interesting puppy toys, introduces puppies to different textures, sounds, and stimulates their developing nervous systems.
Breeders understand the importance of raising stable, well adjusted and confident puppies. Exposing them to many different sounds and tetures during their early weeks will give them a great head start. Use your imagination to create a fun and playful gym by hanging interesting toys that squeak and rattle, rotating different toys to keep things interesting. Made with commercial grade PVC in assorted colors (not painted). Easy to clean. Sturdy. Easy to assemble and dis-assemble for storage. No glue or tools needed.

Kamay (/ˈkeɪmeɪ/ KAY-may) is an unincorporated community in Wichita County, Texas, United States. It had an estimated population of 640 in 2000.
Kamay is part of the Wichita Falls, Texas Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Kamay is located on State Highway 258, twelve miles (19 km) southwest of Wichita Falls in southwestern Wichita County. Its elevation is 1,033 feet (315 m) above sea level.
Development in the area began in 1912 when Joseph A. Kemp, W. Munger, and Reese S. Allen formed a land company that purchased 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of Wichita River valley land for resale. By the 1920s, investors had turned their attention to oil exploration and the K-M-A Oil Company was established. The name was formed from each of the three principals' last names.
The community that developed around the oil fields became known as Kemp City by 1928. Within ten years, more than 100 wells were operating in and around Kemp City. The community's name again changed in the 1930s. Texas already had a post office operating under the name Kemp (in Kaufman County), while using the initials K-M-A was deemed unacceptable. The name Kamay was chosen to solve the problem. Despite Kamay being the official name, Kemp City remained in use as well.
At its peak in the 1940s, Kamay had a population of around 700 and twenty-one businesses. There were twenty-seven businesses in Kamay by the mid-1950s. In 2000, the population had declined to approximately 640 with seven businesses operating in the community.
The community of Kamay is part of the Iowa Park Consolidated Independent School District.

More about our viola teachers:
I teach cello, violin, and viola. The instruments that make up a string quartet! I offer thirteen years of experience playing the cello and five years of teaching experience. I received my Bachelors in Cello Performance at the University of Georgia where I studied with David Starkweather. Recently, I received my Masters in String Pedagogy at Temple University where I studied extensively with Jeffrey Solow. I studied abroad in Italy at the Conservatorio A. Vivald in Alessandria, Italy with Claudio Merlo. In Italy, I had the chance to perform solo works and tour with the conservatory orchestra. I have been featured in masterclasses with Narek Hakhnazaryan, Nick Canellakis, Mikhail Milman, Mihai Tetel, Michael Mermagen, David Finckel, and Duo Sonidos. I was a member of Levon Ambartsumian's ARCO chamber orchestra and recorded and performed with the ensemble. I have also play the Brevard Music Festival in North Carolina under the baton of Boston Pop's Keith Lockhart. While in Georgia, I taught for the University of Georgia Community Music School and the Eugene Lee School of Music where I would teach privately, give group classes, and sectionals for the orchestra. I taylor my knowledge and experience as a musician to the individuality of the student. The student's musicality is my guide and I find importance in relaxed playing. Along with the teachings of great string players in history, I employ the Suzuki method and Gordon Music Learning Theory in my teaching. -Learn More About Carolina
I teach violin, viola, and guitar. I started playing the violin at the age of five, taking lessons from Hei Ling Yeung (Colorado Springs Symphony, Central City Opera). In elementary school, I joined the Front Range Youth Symphony and won awards in solo and ensemble competitions in Jefferson County. My secondary instruments include the viola and classical guitar. I earned teaching certification and completed hours of observation at the Suzuki Association of the Americas at the Suzuki Institute of Colorado. I also teach using the traditional method, depending on students' individual goals and strengths. - Read more about Laena
I teach violin, viola, cello, guitar, ukulele, and piano. I've been playing music on various instruments for nearly twenty years. I come from a family of musicians and grew up listening to a strange combination of classical music and the Beatles. I played in orchestras and ensembles all throughout grade school. I earned a BA in music production from the College of Media and Communication at Temple University, where I also electively studied music theory and technique. I started teaching while working at a music shop after graduating. I picked up some lessons as a substitute teacher when needed and quickly realized that I loved teaching. My students are a constant reminder of why I fell in love with music in the first place. I've learned that there is no one method that works for every student. I teach using a blended method catered to each student's individual needs, while making sure we don't forget to have fun! - Read More About Jenny
I teach violin and viola, piano and flute. I have been playing violin for 14 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Violin Performance from Temple University.

I emphasize technique and practice methods in lessons while fostering an appreciation for all forms of music. - Read More About Emily

There's no one like Gladys Knight. Her soulful voice is one of the most distinct in the music that dominated radio and television for over three decades since the 1960s.
Performing with her brother, Merald "Bubba" Knight and cousins William Guest and Edward Patten as Gladys Knight & The Pips, they helped defined family groups.
Although, Gladys was the star, the group was really an ensemble. The back vocals on their well-known hit "Midnight Train To Georgia remain of the best written and performed to this day. Check out a true black music legend, Gladys Knight & The Pips.

I just love simple baked whole fish, Spanish style. You can use any white fish of your choice and bake it in the same way, adjusting the cooking time, depending on the weight of your fish. Chicken stews are common both inland and on the coast of Almeria. This recipe, known as 'Pepitoria' in other regions, is one of the most appreciated, more than anything for its delicious sauce.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've baked both Turbot (rodaballo) and Seabass (lubina).
Ask the fishmonger to remove the fish gut, but leave the head/tail in tact (although I removed the heads for making stock in these cases). Wash and dry the fish and season with salt inside and out. Make 2 or 3 diagonal slits across the skin/flesh and place on a baking tray lined with tinfoil or grease proof paper.
Now just whisk together with a fork some crushed garlic, finely chopped fresh parsley 3-4 tbsps virgen olive oil and half a glass of white wine. Pour the mixture over the fish, making sure it penetrates the slits and bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 15-20 mins for smaller fish or 25-40 mins for large fish.

Tony Hue joined Disqus in the summer of 2014 as the Community Manager. He oversees four major areas: community building, social media, events, and content marketing.
He works closely with their product and support teams around the development and rollout of new releases. He also spends a lot of time thinking about the story he will tell users, publishers, and advertisers through the products they build. He figures out how this fits into their mission of building a fun place on the web for quality discussions and finding great communities.
Goodbits: How did you find out about us?
Tony: I was in the midst of revamping our email newsletter, The Disqus Weekly, and was using a bevy of tools including Trello, Buzzsumo, Evernote, and Feedly to curate content. There was a ton of overhead and I spent at least 3–4 hours a week building the newsletter. I was desperate for a simpler solution that would both save me time and produce a higher quality newsletter; that's when I read about Goodbits on the Buffer blog.
Goodbits radically simplified my content curation by eliminating redundant tasks like extracting article titles, excerpts, and thumbnail images. Previously, I would manually add links as individual cards in Trello, then create a plain text newsletter draft in Evernote, copy that over to Mailchimp, and then format the content by navigating unsightly email HTML (yes, I don't know how I maintained my sanity). With Goodbits, all I have to do is click a couple of buttons and call it a day. Best of all, I rarely have to touch the HTML.
Goodbits: So, how much time do you save building your newsletter using our app?
Tony: Broken down, I spend about 15-20 minutes a day looking through Feedly and other news sources. Goodbits has helped me save at least an hour and so I now spend 2-3 hours a week on the newsletter.
Goodbits: I think it's time for some team collaboration to cut that down even further! What kind of links do you share in your newsletter?
Tony: The Disqus Weekly is a collection of the most interesting stories and discussions on the Disqus network. The 3 million+ sites that use Disqus cover a wide range of topics including news & politics, business & technology, entertainment, and science. We want to help our users discover rich communities and discussions that they would be interested in and thus, The Disqus Weekly was born.
Goodbits: Sign me up! Now where exactly do I do that?
Tony: Click here to sign up for The Disqus Weekly.
Goodbits: What feature would you love for us to add?
Tony: Editable email content preview. Especially for mobile users and email newsletters you receive on a regular basis; the preview snippet is an opportunity to capture people's interest on the contents awaiting them.
Goodbits: We've been a bit busy with our last integration but we're on it, Tony! One last question — anything cool up and coming at Disqus?
Tony: Yes! We're hosting our next public Game Night event at Disqus HQ on Tuesday, February 4th, at 6:30pm. If you like food, good company, board games and you're in San Francisco, RSVP HERE.

Anyone using the Windows OS should know that an IP address is referred to as default gateway address. You could utilize a graphical way for finding the address and also the DOS command of ipconfig in the command prompt Box.
Through Terminal
Launch the command window and enter the word "ipconfig" for finding the default gateway.
In the event of the PCs using Wi-Fi, spot the 'Wireless Network Connection' and not the 'Local Area Connection' in the data that appears on entering ipconfig. On the Windows 8 IS, a wireless connection's shown as 'Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi' in this date, with a wired connection being shown as 'Ethernet adapter Ethernet'.
Graphical Way
The initial step is opening 'Control Panel'. On OS Windows 10/ 8.1, you can do this by making right click on the Start button before followed by selecting 'Control Panel'. In the control panel you'll find Network and Internet and you should click on 'View network status & tasks'. At the right hand side of 'Connections' make a click on the name of apt connection. Proceed to click the button labeled details. You'll get the IP address of the router at the right had side of IPv4 Default Gateway.
Of you're using Windows 7, got o the Control Panel. Make a click on the 'Network and Sharing Center' icon before clicking 'new network status and tasks'. The menu that appears to the left has the 'Change adapter settings' link that you choose. Click the active connection twice. This will initiate a dialogue box having connection details that include duration, speed, and more. Make a click on a button labeled 'Details and you'll get router address in IPv4 Default Gateway row.
Ipconfig Route
Getting the IP address using Control Panel requires a bit of effort. Any person who isn't used to it possibly will not be all that self-assured through this process. Numerous people like "ipconfig" command for determining the PC's IP address and additional information that include the its default gateway address better.
For initiating the procedure, open up the Command Prompt box and enter ipconfig. The system's going to present a list of every single network connection the machine's using
On being hooked up to any wired network you must look beneath Ethernet adapter LAN. On you being hooked up to Wi-Fi, check underneath wireless LAN adapter.
In the event of a change of DNS Server
In the event of a change of DNS server, you have got to make use of ipconfig /flushdns for flushing the DNS resolver cache of yours. I such an event the effects never drill down right away. Windows features a system of making use of a cache that keeps the DNS responses got on mind. The point is saving on time whenever the identical addresses are accessed once more later.
Not running flushdns/ ipconfig command following alteration of DNS server will make Windows fetch earlier, cached entries and not fetch addresses from changed DNS servers.
Troubleshooting of Problems
In the event of a difficulty in network connection, commands like tracert and ping aid you in identifying problems. With Ping you can know whether there's traffic loss and the amount of time taken by data packets for reaching destination. With tracert you can trace the course that the packets take for reaching the destination.

Swiss Watchmaking Brand, Longines, celebrates Kentucky Derby winner as the Official Timekeeper and Watch of the Triple Crown
ST. IMIER, SWITZERLAND and LOUISVILLE, KY--(Marketwired - May 08, 2017) - Longines, the Official Timekeeper of the Triple Crown, is proud to celebrate the victory of Always Dreaming in the 143rd running of the Kentucky Derby -- "the most exciting two minutes in sports". The Swiss watch brand awarded Always Dreaming's owners, trainer and jockey with elegant Longines Conquest Classic Collection timepieces in front of the enthusiastic spectators gathered at Churchill Downs.
Following Always Dreaming's superb victory in Kentucky Derby, Longines ceremoniously gifted owners, trainer and jockey with stunning timepieces. Always Dreaming, ridden by jockey John Velazquez, raced to victory, outrunning Lookin At Lee in second place and Battle Of Midway in third, after an exhilarating race. Earlier that day, the Churchill Distaff Turf Mile presented by Longines was claimed by Roca Rojo, ahead of Believe in Bertie and Linda.
At the Kentucky Derby, Longines timepieces and branded clocks were on display throughout Churchill Downs' facilities, in which the brand's logo was prominently featured on the official red carpet, racetrack and in other surrounding areas. Further, a digital Longines Kentucky Derby Countdown Clock was revealed on Churchill Downs' official event website (www.KentuckyDerby.com) to observe this historic race.
For more information and photography from the 143rd Kentucky Derby visit:
About the Watches:
Longines presented a model from The Longines DolceVita Collection, a line inspired by the Italian sweet life exuding contemporary elegance and femininity during the Kentucky Oaks Day Fashion Contest. Cased in steel and rose gold and decorated with diamonds, this timepiece displays a silver-coloured "flinqué" dial adorned with painted Roman numerals and is mounted a stainless steel bracelet.
The official watch of this year's Triple Crown is the Conquest 1/100th Horse Racing, paying homage to all those passionate about flat racing and Longines' rich tradition in sports timekeeping. The first traces of the involvement of Longines in equestrian sport, and especially in horse racing, dates back to 1878. It was at this time that the brand produced one of its most emblematic items, a chronograph engraved with the image of a jockey and his mount, which allowed performances to be timed to the second.

It has generations of experience as the official timekeeper at world championships and as a partner of international sports federations. Longines is a member of The Swatch Group S.A., the world's leading manufacturer of horological products.

Queenies with Close Leece Farm Chorizo
Posted on in Restaurant
Manx Queenies with Close Leece Farm Chorizo is a new regular addition to our menu.
The Spanish style sausage was created at great length and with much expense by Steven Ridgway who became fed up with only being able to source cheap supermarket varieties.
It complements flavours perfectly with our local delicacy
The Southern Show was another great success for Close Leece Farm who cleaned up the awards for Free Range Eggs, as well as the Chorizo and their Sausages made from their Tamworth Rare Breed pigs.
Well done to both Tracey and Steven!

It was created in the British style during the year 1952, with eighteen holes in it and par 71 with a spacious distance of 6612 yards approximately. It is situated in a small town on an extreme height, such that the exact creation of the Golf Course is about five thousand feet respectively, above the sea-level. Therefore, its surrounding is occupied by the dense green jungles, which has been observed by the majority of tourists and its local visitors. It was ideally invented by cutting the rainforest plantations.

- Whereas, during the free time, visitors or players are facilitated with snacks and drinks at the pavilion. As there is a practicing spot allocated for the golfers.
It can be appropriately traced within the small town of Tanah Rata and Brinchang. Therefore, you can easily visit the site of Golf Course, which is around ten minutes to Cameron Highlands and approximately three hours away from Kuala Lumpur city mainly.
Cameron Highlands Golf Course provides several facilities to its visitors that include comfortable accommodations and scrumptious food in its variety of restaurants built within.
Following are its tempting facilities that are emphasized in detail as:

Description and Cost of the Course
The course description is jotted as below:

For instance, before 5pm in weekdays the cost is 52.50 Ringgits and during weekends or a holiday the cost increases to 84 Ringgits respectively, which is generally reduced to half the price after 5pm.
The old citizens (above 56 years) and for silver hairs the expense similarly varies as during the day it costs 42 Ringgits in weekdays and 63 Ringgits for weekends/holidays, such rates are thus, reduced to half by 5pm onwards.

Creepy crawlers
Head lice are insects, but they can't fly. Instead, they crawl around in your hair and on your scalp to get nourishment. Lice are spread through close personal contact. The parasites crawl onto your clothing, hairbrushes, hats, towels, and any other personal belongings.
If a friend or family member shares your comb or scarf, the head lice can crawl onto the new host and lay eggs, spreading the infestation.
Female head lice can lay several eggs each day. Household pets and other animals do not spread head lice to humans.

Prenatally: I provide 2- 3 prenatal visits to get to know you and you partner as well as your preferences for the labor and birth. These visits will usually begin during the 32nd week of pregnancy. Each prenatal is individualized to the mother and her partners needs. These prenatals are a very important part of preparing for the birth of your baby as it gives us the time needed to get to know one another and will also help you and your partner be better prepared for the birth. I will also be more than happy to offer recomendations for local chiropractors, prenatal yoga instructors, local la leche league meetings, etc. During this time all clients are free to borrow books, videos/dvd's from my extensive lending library. It is important to remember that doulas are not midwives. My role is strictly that of a non-clinical provider.
During Labor: As a doula I provide continuous physical and emotional support for the mother throughout her labor and birth. I will join the mother and her partner during labor when they decide they need my support. This may be at their home or at the hospital. I remain with the mother and her family throughout her labor providing constant reassurence and praise as well as comfort techniques, such as, assistance with positioning, massage, counter-pressure, and much,much more!!!!!!!!!!
Postpartum: I remain with the family approximately 1 to 1.5 hours after the birth. During this time I assist the mother with early breastfeeding, cleaning up, assist with photos etc. I usually will do a postpartum follow up visit 1 to 2 weeks after the birth of baby. During this visit it is always nice to see mom and baby and to revist the birth. I am available at any time during the early postpartum period to assist with any breastfeeding or newborn care questions
Fee: $700.00

As we have discussed on this blog, Pennsylvania ranks quite high among states in terms of elderly drivers who have fatal accidents. Residents therefore should be interested and concerned with a recent accident in a neighboring state involving a 74-year-old driver crashing through a local restaurant with her minivan.
In this accident, a couple dining at a restaurant sustained fatal injuries. Asserting premises liability, the relatives of the couple have sued the property owners and the restaurant. The driver was also included in the litigation. The relatives are seeking monetary compensation.
The lawsuit claims the property owners are negligent because of the design of the parking lot and restaurant. Patrons must park facing the building and there are no barriers or stops to keep cars from hitting the restaurant. The lawsuit contends that the property owners and restaurant were on notice that such precautions are necessary to keep customers safe.
Furthermore, the family was upset that garbage containers at this location had barriers to protect them. The family believes it shows the restaurant knew barriers are an efficient means of protection -- as well as the fact that the restaurant was more concerned with protecting its property than its patrons.
The law requires property owners to reasonably maintain their property to avoid safety hazards for those visiting. This means taking precautions to prevent accidents that are foreseeable. Negligence or carelessness in looking after a property can open up the owner to liability. If a court finds the owner liable, the injured could recover damages for any physical or emotional pain resulting from the accident.

The Gold Standard Goes Mainstream
By SETH LIPSKY
An under-reported development of this campaign season is the Republican Party's decision this week to send Gov. Mitt Romney into the presidential race on a platform effectively calling for a new gold commission. The realization that America's system of fiat money is part of its economic problem is moving from the fringes of political discussion to the center.
This is a sharp contrast from the last time a gold commission was convened, in 1981, a decade after President Nixon abandoned the Bretton Woods system and opened the era of a fiat dollar. The 1981 commission recommended against restoring a gold basis to the dollar. But two members—Congressman Ron Paul and businessman-scholar Lewis Lehrman—dissented and outlined the case for gold.
The new platform doesn't use the word "gold," describing the 1981 United States Gold Commission as looking at a "metallic basis" for the dollar. But the metal…

A method of stretching that incorporates a reflex relaxation of the muscle being stretched. The muscle is contracted against a resistance, usually by pressing against a force exerted by a partner. Then the muscle is relaxed into a static stretch while the partner pushes the muscle into a stretch that extends it further than before. See also proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.

The Jerusalem Post reports: Kulanu MK Michael Oren on Sunday urged the government to address issues in the Beduin community to prevent further infiltration by Islamic State as he toured the Negev on Sunday meeting with Beduin soldiers and women national service volunteers.
"The Beduin community offers immense challenges to the state of Israel but also offers great opportunities.
The state can either meet the challenges intelligently and sensitively or other forces will fill the vacuum, including Islamic State," Oren told The Jerusalem Post.
The Kulanu MK has introduced legislation granting lone status benefits to Muslim and Christian soldiers who face opposition from their communities due to their service. On his tour, he visited Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba where Beduin women perform their national service.

I have three 12 volt deep cycle batteries that will be connected together and live in a tongue box on my trailer (12 volt system).
The charge controllers (plug-in plus solar) and the rest of my electronics including the 1000 watt inverter live inside the trailer itself. Thus, I will need heavy gauge cables connecting the batteries to the inverter & distribution center inside the trailer.
I am familiar with the need to have the load cables connect to + and - on opposite ends of the battery bank to equalize the electrical draw across all three batteries and maximize their lifespan.
Quick Questions:
1) Do the wires from the battery charger need to connect to the battery bank at opposite ends for the same reason (equalizing the charge), or can they go to the middle battery terminals, for example?
2) Can the charger instead be hooked up to the same load cables as the inverter on the trailer (power distribution) side (to eliminate the need of running separate charging wires into the tongue box)?
I am not familiar with the pros and cons of wiring the charger to the load cables rather than the battery terminals themselves. Would there be an issue when solar charging and running the inverter at the same time, for example?
Thanks for clarifying these issues for me before I set up the tongue box wiring!

Will the Internet of Things be the next green field?
I've been looking at the MEAN.io stack technologies (it seems like the new hotness) and I can see this being the underlying the language for the "Internet of Things". IoT is a term that has slowly crept up into the consumer marketplace displacing the "home automation" trend, but its been in use in many other industries like supply chain and manufacturing for years. It popped up in the consumer mindshare in a big way in this years CES and MWC.
As we've seen the mobile space being dominated by the iOS and Android ecosystems, innovation takes place on those platforms, on their terms. IoT is proving to be the next green field1.
If you read any of Ben Thompson's work at Stratechery.com, he wrote a wonderful article in 2014 called "The State of Consumer Technology at the end of 2014", where he outlines what he calls the "Three Epochs of Consumer Tech":
Extending the model below, it's clear why people like Apple, Amazon, Google, and challengers like LG, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, etc. will be leading the charge into the IoT space over the next 1-3 years.
|Uber, Amazon,
|Web Browser
|Android / iOS
|10s of Millions
|100s of Millions
|10s of Billions
Extending that illustration, you can map the impact of connected household goods to tens of billions of connected devices; it's an exciting opportunity.
As with any new technology, there will always be unintended consequences. As you increase the number of connected devices by a magnitude, you'll inevitably introduce a completely different number of variables to the equation.
Take the upgrade cycle for instance. The upgrade rate of home appliances are a magnitude longer than any phone or device.2 It's not uncommon to keep an appliance for 10+ years. Imagine how the industry will change during that time? Whole services and protocols will go in and out of fashion. Will appliance manufacturers keep the software up to date? Surely closed ecosystems will age out and introduce planned obsolescence–look to more open development platforms to keep devices up and running in the coming years.3
A lot of interesting questions
Who will provide the fabric of the IoT:
- Clearly the underlying protocol is IPv6 in nature, but I don't know of any emerging protocol that will take hold.
- Cisco systems is positioning themselves for this with their Jasper acquisition and OpenDNS acquisition.
Where is the hub for IoT?
- Is the living room the centre of the connected home? Both Microsoft and Apple seem to be positioning their bets there (with the XBox and AppleTV, respectively). Google's attempts in the TV space are half-hearted and their acquisition of Nest and DropCam only address the outer-edge of the a hub and spoke model.
- Maybe there is no hub? It's centred around the smartphone?
Who will provide the OS for IoT?
- I think the emerging leader right now is Amazon and their Amazon Echo device. I can see this being the UI for the OS. In general, it's voice. Facebook has planted the seed that the group messaging client will be the new operating system, but their idea of mining intent from messaging using bots and NLP doesn't pass the smell test for me (people generally don't want Facebook looking at their chats…).
- From a platform basis it's not so clear. Everyone will have devices running their own software. Strong brands will attempt to create walled gardens (Google vs. Apple vs. Samsung). In that sense, IoT will a horrible customer experience without some defined standards. It will take something akin to the early W3C specifications, champions on both the private and standards sized to get to something usable in my opinion.
Who are the Big players in the the IoT space?
- Will it be Apple? Google?
- I think it will be out of the hacker space from China. Only they have the supply chain expertise necessary to build the necessary sensors into devices.
What's the big payoff for consumers?
- Is it really important to have a toaster and fridge on the Internet via IPv6? No. There isn't. This is a difficult problem for companies. Communicating the value is difficult because it's not very clear how all of these inter-connected devices will improve your life. Examples need to be specific.
- It's all about the sensors and all about the software that will take that information and make it smart and insightful and enlightening–we've barely scratched the surface of this for consumer consumption, but we've seen this play out for years in in heavy and light-industry (e.g., Supply chain).
- To a lesser extent, you could say this with VR as well, but what is markedly different is the scale between the two areas. We're talking 10s of millions of devices vs. billions, respectively. ↩
- As much as I am enticed to upgrade my aging iPad3 (from 2012), with the new iPad Pro 9.7″ launched this week, I think I'll wait one more version. I think Tim Cook underestimates the upgrade cycle for the iPad. It's more akin to a PC and there is no cellular phone provider to offer upgrade subsidies to catalyze its upgrade cycle like with the iPhone. ↩
- I have the same concern with automotive software–it will be interesting to see how Tesla fares. I think Apple Car and Android Auto is the future. ↩

Useful and fun things to download!
Red Wines
2014 Silver Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Flavorful and dinner-worthy, this fine Cab marries black cherry, black currant, black raspberry, violet and peppercorn scents to savory suggestions of vanilla, bitter chocolate, licorice root, tobacco and graphite. It is lean and a bit youthfully grippy on the palate, where black cherry, Cassis and black fig flavors dominate others of vanilla, star anise, cedar, tobacco, leather and graphite. The whole package proves food-worthy and lingering. If better in eighteen months, it is very appealing right now. 85% Cabernet, blended with Merlot and Petite Verdot. 1100 cases produced.
2014 Whitehall Lane Malbec Napa Valley
Tannic grip and dusty minerality are both evident when this gutsy Malbec is opened, yet airing exposes a load of rich varietal character. The nose offers deep blueberry, dark plum, olallieberry, black tea, clove, licorice root, dried laurel and rosemary scents. On the palate, it proves as rich in body and firm in backbone as expected, while youthful zest and grip create a cutting balance. The finish is complex and long and with a bit of airing it reveals optimally-ripe blueberry, olallieberry, black plum and violet fruit in lovely harmony with equally intense flavors of black licorice, dusted chocolate and star anise. Pair it with steaks and dark roasts now, or wait five years to see it's full glory. 268 cases made.
2013 Vin Atlas "Global Fusion" Proprietary Red Wine California/Argentina
This terrific Bordeaux-esque blend has super forthcoming aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, violet, prune plum, rose, cola, clove, nutmeg and dusted cocoa. It is vibrant and just as fruit-packed in the mouth, where juicy black raspberry and sour cherry sit at center stage while vanilla, nut husk, sandalwood, star anise, baking-spice and leather notes provide a savory chorus. Everything is lingering and dinner-friendly although the wine is delicious alone. Enjoy it over the next three years. A mix of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petite Verdot from Napa Valley, blended with 10% Argentinean Malbec. 800 cases produced.
2015 Sandler Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Santa Maria Valley
Focused, aromatic, fruit-packed and gently palate-coating, this is a terrific Pinot at a great price. The nose melds scents of Bing cherry, strawberry jam, red currant, blueberry, black raspberry, baking spices, sandalwood and anise into a racy, forthcoming mix. All of these notes are replicated on the palate and through a lingering finish, where notes of pink peppercorn, sumac berry, rose, toffee and a hint of black tea join in. If delicious now, it will be considerably more so in another year or two and well beyond. 119 cases produced.
2014 Palmina "Alisos" Sangiovese Santa Barbara County
This delightful wine weaves floral elegance, forthcoming fruit and suppleness of texture into a sweet-natured tapestry. The nose mixes fruit scents of red rose, violet, bottled cherry, dry cherry, and strawberry and raspberry candies with quieter notes of pink peppercorn, vanilla pipe tobacco and dried mushroom. Gently piquant flavors of bottled cherry and red plum jam dominate on the palate, with violet, red rose, dried orange peel, tobacco and mushroom in support. The finish is bright, silky and lingering. Blended with 20% Merlot. 396 cases produced.
2015 Field Recordings Zinfandel Old Potrero Vineyard Arroyo Grande Valley
Bright, focused and concentrated, the nose of this clearly "old vine" Zin is a dense melange of black cherry, dark plum, Cassis, cracked black pepper, jerk powder, bresaola, date sugar and chocolate-covered fig scents. It proves just as densely fruity on the palate, where flavors of black cherry, blueberry, licorice root and peppercorn dominate and piquant zest keeps everything racy and focused. The fruit tightens-up and the savory notes move to center stage at the finish, where sour cherry and cherry pit notes form the core beneath peppercorn, star anise, baking-spice and dried herb notes. Blended with 5% Mourvedre & 3% Syrah. 1100 cases made.
White Wines
2013 Chasseur Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
Almost as zesty as it is rich, the nose of this seductive Chardonnay offers scents of lemon curd, lemon sorbet, white peach tart, Fuji apple, toasted almonds and hazelnuts, roasted grain and a hint of coconut. The wine's richness is even more apparent on the palate, where white peach, peach pit, apple skin, tarte tatin, orange blossom, hazelnut, nougat, vanilla wafer, nutmeg and meringue flavors rise above a firmer core of lemon marmalade. The finish is an ultra-long expression of a lovely wine at the peak of maturity. It deserves service with luxuriously sauced entrees. 250 cases produced.
2014 Buhman Sauvignon Blanc Ryan's Vineyard Oak Knoll Napa Valley
This is a wine of quiet elegance and complex fruit. The aromas and the slightly creamy flavors that follow are a harmonious marriage of guava, green apple, key lime pie, pineapple core, passion fruit, orange zest, white rose, lemon grass and floral honey. The finish is genteel, yet full-flavored and lingering, and the wine seems an ideal match for baked fish, white-sauced pasta and the like. 135 cases produced.
2013 Sans Liege "Cotes du Coast" White Rhone Blend Central Coast
With its gaudy display of fruit and spice, this wine is distinctive from start to finish. On the nose, floral suggestions of orange zest, jasmine, honeysuckle, mint, clove and white pepper are but the intro to richer notes of peach, Persian raisin, Asian pear, pineapple, lemon curd, tangerine, beeswax, nutmeg and vanilla wafer. Things are fuller, if a bit quieter on the palate, yet the flavor panorama is much the same, so the lingering finish, if fully dry and food-worthy, delivers a similar cornucopia of surprises. It should prove an intriguing companion to roast turkey. A blend of 49% Viognier, 27% Roussanne, 15% Grenache Blanc & 9% Marsanne. 850 cases made.
2015 Bodkin Gewürztraminer "The Bohemian" Russian River Valley
Although this is a fully dry and dinner-balanced wine, it has just about everything a California Gewürztraminer can offer in the way of fruit and spice. Mango, peach, peach pit, melon, lychee, Asian pear, jasmine, honeysuckle, mock orange, lavender, pink peppercorn and mineral undercurrents are more or less equally represented in its aromas, flavors and lingering finish. It is ready to drink and is a pleasure all by itself, although it is certain to prove a terrific match for Thai curries and the like. 112 cases made.
2014 Ryan Chenin Blanc Arroyo Seco Vineyard Monterey
Peggy Ryan strives for balanced richness with her wines and this one well-reflects her style. The nose is full of creamy-zesty contrasts, with piquant red apple skin, peach pit and mineral notes in counterpoint to richer pear, stone fruit, lemon curd, honey and vanilla wafer scents. There are also textural contrasts on the palate, and through a notably food-worthy, lingering finish. The flavors are a satisfying mix of apple skin, apple sauce, quince, lemon sorbet, peach pit and apricot, with quiet suggestions of coconut and meringue below. It is ready to enjoy and should prove a fine partner to sauced fish or fowl. 134 cases made.
2016 Graybehl Rosé of Grenache Sonoma Valley
Pretty pink-copper color, bright fruit and cutting balance make this engaging sipper an even finer dinner wine. The nose offers grapefruit zest, watermelon, wild strawberry, pink and white rose, mock orange, white pepper and mineral scents in a racy harmony. It proves as sleek and refreshing on the palate as expected, and the flavors of watermelon, wild strawberry, broiled grapefruit, white pepper and coriander seed are cutting-dry and lingering. It's as perfect a wine for Ceviche as can be imagined. 50 cases produced from the Mathis vineyard.

Home School!
You may not realize but the three little ones were already on "hospital homebound" which meant that the teachers/therapists came to our home. They didn't attend a school.
I fought so hard for so long to get the kind of services I felt Sam and then later the girls needed. I've written on this blog some of the issues I've had over the years. We've had some great teachers & a few crazy ones, enough crazies that I would never ever allow them to go to school, along with their medical/emotional needs! When you have children who are non verbal, it's hard to trust people, especially if you'd had issues in your own home with teachers over the years. I've dealt with crazy administrations, one lady who would talk to me in a certain accent. Believe me she was not from the country she pretended to be from! She had failed at her job and was given a position to work with special needs kids rather than being fired as she should have been. I've had ample reason to pull the kid(s) out in the past but I continued fighting on.
Currently we were very satisfied with our teachers, however both girls' IEPs were out of compliance because they had had two therapist quit. And the administration talked me out of Orientation & Mobility so they wouldn't be out of compliance in that area. But it was ok overall. I just didn't feel their needs were being met.
What convinced me to do this, was several things. We needed order in our home. Our kids usually do really good on a strict schedule and that was hard to maintain when teachers were absent or had other meetings that they had to go to. We had very few weeks when all of their teachers were able to follow their schedule (not always their fault). My goal is to potty train Sam or at least try and I could not do that around people's schedules who may or may not come. Then throw in the holidays, teacher work days etc.....it gets too crazy.
Also over Christmas break Sam did so good, but the day his teachers came back, he started biting himself on his arms. Sam is very well behaved normally and in all kinds of social settings but we weren't seeing that with school. When a child is upset, you listen to what they are saying- especially if they are non verbal. He would be upset all day long & often into that night. That is just not right. Sam has always had a hard time expressing frustration and trying to get attention, we've gone through some times when he would throw toys down the hall. One time I took every hard toy out of the house for months until he learned not to throw. He likes to squeal loudly, sometimes it's a happy sound but lately it was not a happy sound. Now I'm not saying to let a child- any child dictate things but parents also must take into account everything when dealing with their kids.
But the biggest thing to me was that their goals were not always realistic or helpful. I would bring this up at every IEP meeting explaining that they needed to learn life skills such as eating on their own, getting in and out of a car, potty training, etc..... There had been some more practical changes this past year (thanks to the teachers!) but for the most part I wasn't seeing any progress that transitioned to REAL life. The teachers were not able to write goals like that due to their guidelines.
Obviously we work with them constantly anyhow. We do the same things over & over for years, and sometimes we see progress. For example, we really wanted help with teaching Sam to get in & out of the van. I asked for it many times a few years ago ( he had Orientation & Mobility as well as Physical Therapy at the time. ) Only once did someone work with him and they were basically ticked off the whole time. So we continued to work with him and now he can do it by himself. I was concerned because I was afraid we'd hurt our backs or drop him trying to get him in!
I've seen that most of what our kids do, they learn from us.
With our little ones, we realize that they do not have the ability to read, or color or do a lot of things that will be building blocks towards more regular education. That does not bother me to say it. I know where my kids IQ's are and I realize that there is only so much "regular things" that they will successfully accomplish. In other words, I'm not expecting them to have the same life as my other boys. That in no way diminishes them or their need to learn life skills that will help them (and their caregivers) function better. I'm just very realistic in my outlook. Sam and Sarah are unique in that they have lower IQs and are visually impaired but yet are mobile.
I'm sure I'll get messages & comments that will say "if only you believe- they can do anything" Well that's just not true. If a person does not have the ability to do a certain task like reading a book, they can be in class 24/7 and they will never be able to do it. BUT there are many things they can learn to do, it might take a longer time, for example Sam was about 3 when he started walking, he had the ability he just needed more time. Sarah, well we nor anyone we've taken her to, really knows if she'll walk given her age and where she is right now. (When I say WALK I mean walk well enough she could go from place A to place B out side the home with little assistance) She will walk somewhat if we hold her hands or with a walker & she has started taking a step towards us if you drop your hands and tell her to "come" But in some cases the ability to do certain things is just not there no matter how much therapy or instruction is given. It's important to always try things, give a child every chance and opportunity but be realistic & don't push a child beyond his/her ability. Challenge them-YES but don't frustrate them.
I feel with homeschooling them myself I'm able to focus on THEM and work with them from the time they get up, till they go to bed. Before I would rush getting them ready in the morning so everything was done before the teachers came & then sometimes the teacher couldn't come or would be late..... In doing that, I missed out on life skill learning! One of my goals is for Sarah to learn to help us dress her. She tries and she'll throw one arm one way and get her hand caught in the sleeve.....it's challenging to dress her. In the mornings I need time to work with her on that.
We are keeping our private therapist for the girls and I'm looking into therapy for Sam as well as feeding therapy for Sarah (who only eats pureed foods) These are things that are needful but that we weren't really getting with the school system.
Last night I was thinking I have homeschooled Steve & Shad at different times. When we first began to pastor at our church, we lived in another town and Steve went to a Christian school in still another town! It was an intense time for us! I homeschooled him from January- June using his old school's curriculum. Then in August he started 5th grade here. Then when the accident happened I homeschooled Shad and Steve while we were in NY That was Shad's 2nd grade year and Steve's 11th grade year. We ordered their school curriculum so it was not too hard for me. Steve ended up being homeschooled his senior year because of where he was in the curriculum, he only needed a few more books to graduate so it was cheaper than him going back to the school once we were home. Plus he finished up in January of his senior year. Steve & Shad have always gone to Christian school, not because we are snobs or rich but because we like them being taught by teachers who have a Christian world view. Our school is very open to families, even those who have no faith, & I like that. And by the way, most of the kids there are there on McKay & Step Up For Students scholarships. We have a school choice program in Florida that is awesome!
So for now my "curriculum" will be Life Skills along with their regular private therapies. I applied for a grant http://www.specialneedskidsathome.com/ for a Personal Learning Scholarship Account
if we receive that, I can use it to buy various things like curriculum, therapy, adaptive learning devices etc. We have many things/toys that teachers use with them - I have quite the collection and they are things we've work with all the time. The goal is to help them be as self sufficient as possible.
I'm looking forward to this. I believe this will be a good thing for them.

We provide PE for homeschooled students and have a few children who participate that qualified for a PLSA through step up for students Florida :)ReplyDelete
I think homeschooling is actually a great idea in your situation. I agree that IEP goals can be ridiculous and unrealistic and kids with special needs are rarely taught the life skills that they actually need and will use in their real lives. As a former one-on-one in a both inclusion classrooms and a multiply handicapped classroom I have learned a few things. 1. Inclusion isn't really including these children. They are still separated and segregated and often treated cruelly by their peers. I wish more parents had your realistic outlook. I am by no means saying it is acceptable but it is very common. 2. Abuse of severely disabled- particularly- non-verbal children happens more than people think. It has got to be a very scary thing entrusting strangers with a vulnerable child who cannot even tell you if something was done to them. I saw it in the classroom I worked in personally. I reported the abuse and was told to keep it quiet and not take it any further. Um no. I reported it immediately, the child's parents were informed and they removed her from the school. The teacher who had abused her and the principal who told me to keep my mouth shut are still there! I on the other hand lost my job. I know you were expecting some negative feedback but I think you are absolutely doing the best thing for your children!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your kind comments. I as expecting hate mail but it's been the opposite. Thank you for standing up for that child even tho it cost you your job. We've had issues with 2 teachers in our home so I fig if there are problems in front of me- what could happen if I'm not there????ReplyDelete
Dear Yvonne, I have read you blog for some time and enjoy reading it very much. I respect your dedication a lot. Although I do not have experience with IEP goals, or having teachers at home, I think your plan is very healthy and sensible. I wish and pray for you to have a lot of energy and patience to keep working with your kids and hopefully reach their goals, to the extent of their possibilities.ReplyDelete
Congrats :) -Jessi CooperReplyDelete
